To tell whether a person is an engineer, or a mathematics/ Operations

Reasearch


Assuming the red socks are all identical to each other, and the green socks
are all identical to each other, then your next withdrawal will give you a
pair. This is a certainty, not a probability.

Much more interesting is if you withdraw two green socks to start with, what
is the probability of getting a pair on the next withdrawal?

Or even, if you reach into an unknown sock drawer at random, what is the
probability of withdrawing a dildo?

Sock it to me baby!
